There's Clever, then there is me

Wouldn't it be good if your computer could anticipate what you would like to do? So that when you clicked a tab on the tab bar, the site would open and not close, for instance. Or when you were frustrated that the computer insisted you log in twice to your own blog each time, it suggested a way through, instead of deleting 3 years of blog adding to your own and others frustations when you delete one of the log-ins. Or when you wanted to install a new router , it would invite you onto the internet with open arms instead of allowing you to go through all the motions before denying access. Or when you Googled for something, it would take you straight there, instead of delivering hundreds of non-answers to your query: eg "when was the last time a Leicester City player won an under 23 cap for England?" There should be a sensor on the PC to prevent this and help and encourage Idiots to progress on the internet, instead of providing wages to geeks in Seattle who only exist to promote world-wide revolution through internet frustration.
I was reminded of this the other day, when searching for the leaked Bush-Blair Al Jazeera memo (apparently freely available on the web, but currently under a total media ban: this was the closest I could get . I spent two hours trying to force Google to come up with something useful, but to litttle avail. David Keogh has been jailed for leaking it even though it only tells us what we all knew.
At least Mr Blair has retired, and there may now be an alternative to a return of the disastrous conservatives

That'll be this new poxy rubbish Blogger then. It makes soiled pants smell like roses. Bloody Blooger comments take two log-ins. Go back to Haloscan, hutters.

PS. That first comment was by me, JG. But bloody wanking Blogger comments wouldn't let me speak. It makes the rubbish chatroom look all super-spangly professional.

I recommend WordPress - it's been fantastic since I moved over from Blogger. Much nicer interface, better features, more of a community feel. Glad to have caught up with you again.

That kind of computer won't be coming to a place near us anytime soon.

Emile Heskey?
